State witness Filber’s testimony may implicate former PM aid Nathan Eshel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe testimony of state witness Shlomo Filber in Case 4000 may implicate another close associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — former chief of staff Nathan Eshel, Channel 10 reports.
Eshel was forced to resign his position as the prime minister’s bureau chief in 2012, amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
There are no immediate details on how Eshel allegedly fits into the investigation.
Filber, the former Communications Ministry director, has reportedly agreed to testify that he was instructed by Netanyahu to provide regulatory benefits to telephone company Bezeq in exchange for Bezeq’s chief shareholder, Shaul Elovitch, giving Netanyahu and his family positive coverage on the Walla news site, which Elovitch owns.
